At Citi Field
RHP
5-4, 4.95 ERA, 33 SO

7-1, 1.38 ERA, 57 SO

At Petco Park
RHP
1-0, 2.93 ERA, 20 SO

2-6, 5.02 ERA, 37 SO
The 22-year-old lefty got off to an excellent start, but he's been poor since early May. Margevicius owns a 9.17 ERA in his last four outings, and he's pitching for his job, as the six-man staff is expected to go back to five next week.

1-6, 7.16 ERA, 50 SO
The Giants are giving Pomeranz another chance to prove that he belongs in the rotation. He is having his worst season, allowing 35 earned runs in 39 innings, but Bruce Bochy is hoping that seven days’ rest will help Pomeranz gain confidence.
